Mike,
there is plenty of 'unusual' EDI going on out there in the world but my
experience has been
that the more hands involved in a business process the more likely something
will get lost
or done incorrectly. I will use a generality which may not apply to your
business, but generally
invoices are fairly simple, unless you are doing a consolidated invoice
(811). I would still think
it would be a better idea to use the proprietary invoice format and look at
the potential benefits.
